The government has permitted Kerala Enviro Infrastructure Limited (KEIL) at Ambalamedu here to collect and process biomedical waste generated in government and private healthcare institutions across five districts including Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Pathanamthitta and Idukki. The Common Biomedical Waste Treatment Facility at Ambalamedu was processing the biomedical waste generated in government hospitals at Ernakulam, Malappuram and Pathanamthitta. The company had pointed out that the operation of the plant, having the capacity to treat 16 tonnes daily, was not viable with the reduced quantity of waste obtained from the government healthcare institutions in three districts. An order issued by the chairman of the State Pollution Control Board on August 13 stated that KEIL would collect and process biomedical waste from Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Pathanamthitta and Idukki from September 1 onwards.
